San Blas is a Gas!
We left Isla Isabel on Friday, Jan. 25, bound for San Blas, a coastal town on the mainland. Not far from Isabel we saw whales spouting and diving, and one surfaced about 30 yards off our stern! They looked like small humpbacks.
We arrived outside the entrance to the San Blas estuary that afternoon. We noticed that waves were breaking across the channel- not a good sign! We watched and waited a bit, and it seemed that there were periods of flat water, so we slowly made our way in. The depth sounder read 14 ft, then 12, and then as we neared the channel entrance, we saw 8 feet! Capn TurnTail yelled, "I'm bailing!" and took us back out to deeper water.
We tried again… and this time, we saw 7 feet! San Blas would just have to wait; instead, we anchored in nearby Mantanchen Bay, which is famous for two things: the lovely coconut trees surrounding it, and the biting no-see-ums at dusk. Luckily the bugs weren't too bad, and it was so relaxing there that we decided to stay for a day. We took the dinghy to the beach, which was full of Mexican families enjoying the sun, water, and restaurants.
The following morning, we headed back to the San Blas estuary, and as it was high tide, we had no problem at all going in. After putting up our no-see-um netting on the hatches and ports, we headed into town for lunch, and to buy fresh fruits and veggies.
We met an American named Bill who has a van down here. He was headed to a nearby town called Mexcaltitan, and invited us to join him. We were happy to get to do some inland exploration, so we gladly piled in for the hour-long ride through small villages, towns and open countryside. We had to slow down for cattle crossing the roads, and horse-drawn carts. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera ready when we passed a sleepy donkey harnessed to a little wooden cart; who would have guessed those existed outside of nostalgic paintings?
Mexcaltitan is a fascinating place, because it is on a small island surrounded by winding mangrove lagoons. The only way to get there is by boat, so we hired a lancha to take us there. On the short ride we were excited to see a roseate spoonbill, wood storks, and white pelicans (much bigger than the brown pelicans we're used to seeing). The town itself is quaint, with brightly painted houses trimmed by flowering plants. There are no cars- only narrow streets that, during rare floods, turn into canals. Legend has it that Mexcaltitan was the orignal home of the Aztecs, before they set out on a two hundred year migration and founded Tenoctitlan (now Mexico City).
On the way back to San Blas we stopped in Santiago Ixcuintla to see some murals, which are made of tiles and depict the history of the town.
The next day in San Blas, we toured the ruins of the old Spanish fort, and the cathedral that was the inspiration for Longfellow's The Bells of San Blas. It's amazing to think that this small town was once a major Spanish port and the jumping-off point for Father Junipero Serra, the "father" of the California missions.
We were all excited to go on the jungle boat trip up to La Tovara, a fresh water spring. (The plentiful fresh water was what drew the Spaniards here). Along the way we saw herons (great blue, green, golden crowned, Mexican tiger and spoonbilled), ibis, black eagles, osprey, darters and kingfishers, as well as crocodiles!
We visited the Cocodrilario, where crocodiles are raised for later release into the wild. Todd and Koiya got a big surprise when one cranky croc lunged, snapped and hissed at them! Luckily the chain link cage was strong, and Todd's swimsuit was absorbent.
The spring has lovely, clear water and a fence to keep the crocs out. We had a great time on the rope swing. And the boat ride back was very pleasant, cruising along from the warm sun into the cool shade of the jungle. As Todd said, "I could just ride around all day!" I was thinking to myself that riding around on boats is all he does every day, but he was in such a good mood, I decided not to bring him down.
San Blas is also known for its beaches, and Koiya and I walked from town to the closest one. She had fun because I let her go on a horseback ride; I found it unpleasant because the sand was so fine and the wind was blowing, so it felt like we were covered in dust. As our friend Dave Roy observed after our trip to the BVI, being on a boat ruins you for the beach, because you suddenly realize that sand is a huge nuisance!
We were ready to move further south, but decided to stay a couple more days because Feb. 3 is the town's patron saint's day. On the night of the 2nd, we joined the town's fisherman in their candlelight procession through the town to the church. We felt a little guilty not going in for the sermon, until we were told that a lot of the fisherman go up the steps into the church, then duck out the side door!
On the afternoon of the 3rd, the town square was buzzing with anticipation, as young dancers waited to lead the main procession. Their costumes were wonderfully representative of the festival itself: devoutly Catholic, undeniably Indian, and entirely Mexican. We watched the men take the statue of San Blas out of the church, then raced back to our dinghy to get to our boat before the estuary became too crowded. The saint was carried down to the dock, where he was loaded onto a shrimp boat to make the trip out to Piedra Blanca, a large rock not far from the entrance to the channel.
We were glad we made it back to our boat when we did, as there were soon pangas zipping everywhere! We shuttered to think of the three of us in our little inflatable dinghy, trying to row through all of that! But soon enough, the saint headed out to sea, and all the pangas zoomed off in his wake, to be blessed by the priest.
All was quiet for a while, but the whole procession soon returned. Once the saint and priest were back on terra firma, the remaining pangas commenced the traditional post-processional water fight! Armed with bailers, they turned on each other, and briefly had a go at us too. Koiya ran to grab her Super Soaker, but Todd wisely intervened. He knew we were no match for a fleet of recently blessed pangas!
Instead we hid out below, until it was safe to row back into town. We watched the last half of the Super Bowl at the local McDonald's; not the Golden Arches, but a family-owned bar and restaurant.
Koiya was sleepy and cranky waiting for the fireworks in the square, but once they began, she was wide awake and bubbly again. One by one, spinning discs on the tower lit up and threw sparks over the crowd, finally burning down to reveal figures like a duck, pegasus, sea horse, etc. At random times fireworks also shot up into the sky, and the crowd oohed and aahed on cue.
Todd caught the grand finale on video: a cross lit up, spun around, and then launched into the sky, bursting out with more fireworks before plunging back into the crowd, still aflame! At one point we thought it would land right on our heads! Completely unsafe, this would never be allowed in the States; we all agreed that this element of danger made the whole event way more fun than the 4th of July!
So we very much enjoyed San Blas! The night before we left, we had dinner with Norm and Jan Goldie. They're ex-New Yorkers who've lived in San Blas for 42 years. They help out cruisers and locals, and are full of interesting stories about the town and it's people.
Two little tidbits of note: Koiya has been practicing rowing the dinghy, and Todd has now declared her "Boat-to-Boat Certified". This means she can't take the dinghy to the beach by herself, but she can take it alone if there will be someone to supervise her landings… like when she has to pick Todd up from shore. Now he has her working on being "Quesadilla Certified" so she can bring him lunch when she picks him up.
And, the nickname "Toro" for Todd is a real winner amongst the Mexican men. They always remember his name and yell, "Hola, Toro!" when they see him. Fabian, who owns the dock where we land our dinghy here, has totally bought into the name, saying it's good I have a guy who is "young" and "strong". Todd hopes that they all think his nickname was earned by some daring, masculine feat, so he's instructed me not to tell them that we just call him that because "Todd" is impossible for Mexicans to pronounce. For some reason Toro seems to have a complex about his masculinity; I can't imagine why.

since you are sailing further south, already, I have another suggestion for you.
Check out Sayulita in Nayarit, about 30 km north of PV.
good seafood restaurants right next to the fishing boats in the sand on the beach.
I have been going to this place for over 8 years now. Say HI to Ties who runs the trailer park there. He is from Hamburg, Germany and Mexico City.


If you or someone you know have a job offer in Vietnam, it pays to make sure that the recruiters one is dealing with is legitimate. This is the recent reminder issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) as more reports regarding the activities of an illegal recruiter based in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) reached their office.
According to the DFA, the Philippine Embassy in Vietnam said the illegal recruiter in Vietnam reportedly recruits Filipino workers but asked them to pay for the travel expenses. Upon arriving n Vietnam, the recruiter left the poor workers to themselves.
An article in the DFA website said, "However, upon arrival in HCMC, with no valid job contracts, work visa, and work permit the victims learn that there are no employers."
The illegal recruiters get to earn money by charging exorbitant airfare fees to their victims.
According to the report, the victims were asked to pay from USD420-USD630 or Php 20,000 to Php 30,000 for the airfare and a service fee of USD100 or roughly Php 4,800.
The DFA said "This is way above the air fare offered by Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines which range from USD200 to USD400."
To avoid being a victim of illegal recruitment, the government agency advised applicants to go through the legal process of overseas recruitment and to consult other agencies that assist workers abroad such as the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) and the Overseas Workers' Welfare Administration (OWWA).It said, "As in all other countries, proper documentation (i.e., valid contract, work visa, and work permit) is a must for foreign workers in Vietnam."
The labor market of Vietnam is not spared by the hit of the global financial crisis. Since late 2008, an estimate of 100 to 150 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Vietnam lost their jobs.

Christiaan Willems – Once in a While
A 'featured Album' on ABC Radio, Christiaan Willems' contempory album, 'Once in a While,' features evocative songs, a unique collaborative process and some of the finest guest musicians around.
Christiaan Willems – Once in a While by John Williams
Christiaan Willems had a great idea. I don't know if it is unique, but it takes some intestinal fortitude to do it. He composed 14 songs, put down a basic accompaniment and then sent them to a variety of other musicians to add their own instrumentation as they deemed it appropriate. They then sent them back for mixing. It could have been a disaster, but it's a credit to Christiaan and his many musical friends that this album works. As he says in his album notes, his previous album was titled Trust No-one whereas for this CD he had to trust everyone. There were eight other musicians who were involved and appear on various tracks on the CD. Christiaan plays guitar and does the percussion throughout the CD. He is talented at both and creates some very intriguing sounds. Christiaan has a very creative voice, which suits the lyrics he has composed and allows him to use his vocal abilities to their best effect. All 14 tracks are worth a listen. I enjoyed "Once In a While", with its lyrics regarding the unimportant things we all listen to in our lives. Christiaan shows his vocal ability to great effect in "Intoxicating", which also displays great piano accompaniment by Jeff Usher. "Just the Same" is about a man guessing what his partner is thinking. Mark Hilton is the accompanist on bass on this track. He also plays on several other tracks. "Brand New Days", "Siam", "Take That", "Foolish", "Steppin out", "Perhaps" and "As Long" are all great to listen to and have interesting lyrics. These all have a similar feel to them musically. I enjoyed "Satisfied" in particular. It is a beautiful song about the questioning of a relationship. "Do It All" is a song about a driven career woman called Marianne. "Slide" is a different type of song to the others with Ceri McCoy on saxophone doing a great job. The final track is "Hold Everything", with Briony Luttrell doing a great job accompanying Christiaan on the cello. All the tracks on the CD are very easy to listen to. The nature of the exercise means you get a real variety and all the tracks are interesting. This was a bold experiment and one I enjoyed listening to. I think you will too.

Changing Economies in Ancient Mesopotamia
6:00 PM Ancient Egypt No comments
Changing Economies
By about 3000 B.C. some of the Sumerian city-states had grown to great size. For example, more than 60,000 people may have lived in the city-state of Uruk. This large population growth was made possible by the success of agriculture. Sumerian farms produced enough food to create a surplus, or extra supply, to feed the people who came to settle in Sumer.
Having a surplus led to a division of labor. Some people became craftworkers in stone, clay, cloth made of wool, and leather. Others became metalworkers, using copper and tin and later combining those metals to make bronze. With the addition of new products, some Sumerians became managers, people who were skilled at directing the work of others. Others became merchants. Merchants are people who buy and sell goods to make a living.
Sumerian merchants traded with merchants throughout the Fertile Crescent, even as far away as the Mediterranean Sea. The Sumerians traded what they had in surplus wheat, barley, and copper tools such as axheads and plowheads. In return they got resources that they needed, including wood, salt, precious stones, and raw copper and tin.
What effect did a surplus of food have on life in Sumer?


Hey team. We just released our brand new single: 'Keep a Clean Nose'. After faffing around over here in hometown WA, we're eastbound again, in search of friends and weather as always.
We'll be playing a couple of shows in the loving arms of Melbourne, this one's at The Retreat Hotel in Brunswick, and you wouldn't believe it but it's FREE. Hope to see your lovely faces there.
"Fresh out of Freo, Spacey Jane think and operate a bit differently. That's something you'll continue to discover as the months tick over. Recently nominated for three WAM Awards all focused around their live show and sound, and handpicked winner of Happy's Needle In The Hay competition, SJ's trajectory is on the up.
Following on from their most recent single, "Cold Feet", the four piece return with a breezy track "Keep A Clean Nose". The single was launched to a sold out home town crowd at Perth's The Bird last week and soon, the group will be heading to the eastern seaboard to bring their infectious live show to this side of the country once again."


In co-operation with the University of Turku, we have established a joint focal area in drug development and diagnostics. In the Turku region, successful research conducted primarily in BioCity Turku has led to numerous innovations. Turku is a leader in drug development in Finland. 20% of all industrial jobs in the region are related to biomedicine.
One of Åbo Akademi University's most important research areas is biomedical imaging. Biomedical imaging is a future area and the Turku region is now a national leader in the field. Instead of using a microscope to observe single cells or tissues, it is now possible to employ all types of optical and laser technologies to obtain far more detailed information on cells and tissues. The national PET Centre, which is the largest in Europe, is located in Turku.
Other key areas include drug pre-formulation and diagnostics, with a focus on cancer, organic chemistry and biochemistry, structural bioinformatics, cellular and molecular biology, and materials research.

Q: Updating OrderedDict getting None Here is my list ,
z=[OrderedDict([('name', 'abc'), ('lastname', 'lastname.'), ('address', 'Mumbai'), ('cell', '21******')]), OrderedDict([('name', 'abc'), ('lastname', 'lastname.'), ('address', 'Mumbai'), ('cell', '21******')]), OrderedDict([('name', 'xyz'), ('lastname', 'lastnamexyz.'), ('address', 'Heaven'), ('cell', '2156******')])]

I am trying to change keys of this dictionary ,
What i am trying ,
>>> temp_lst=[]
>>> for i in z:
    newo=OrderedDict()
    temp_lst.append(newo.update(Name=i.get('name'),Lastname=i.get('lastname')))
>>> print temp_lst
    [None, None, None]

This code is printing tmp_lst as [None, None, None]
But when i have tried following , got the correct result.
>>> for i in z:
    newo=OrderedDict()
    newo.update(Name=i.get('name'),Lastname=i.get('lastname'))
    temp_lst.append(newo)
>>> temp_lst
[OrderedDict([('Lastname', 'lastname.'), ('Name', 'abc')]), OrderedDict([('Lastname', 'lastname.'), ('Name', 'abc')]), OrderedDict([('Lastname', 'lastnamexyz.'), ('Name', 'xyz')])]

Both codes seems like the same then why i am getting [None, None, None] in first case and correct output in second case ?

A: dict.update always returns None, so in the first example, you append None three times while in the second example, you append the dict object three times.

A: because newo.update() doesn't return anything (so you get None).

A: Here
temp_lst.append(newo.update(Name=i.get('name'),Lastname=i.get('lastname')))

You are actually adding the return value of newo.update to the list, which happens to be None. In the first example you first update the dict and then append the dict itself to temp_lst. That makes a difference

Zeya () is a town in Amur Oblast, Russia, located on the Zeya River (a tributary of the Amur)  southeast of Tynda and  north of Blagoveshchensk.

History
It was founded in 1879 as the settlement of Zeysky Sklad (, lit. Zeya warehouse), as a supply and administrative center for the exploitation of  newly discovered gold deposits in the Zeya River basin. By 1906, the settlement had grown to over 5,000 inhabitants, and was granted town status under the name Zeya-Pristan (, lit Zeya Port). In 1913, the town's name was shortened to Zeya.

The town remained one of Russia's most important centers of gold production until the opening of the Kolyma region in the 1930s.

Construction of the Zeya Dam, beginning in 1964, saw a new growth period for the town.

Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Zeya serves as the administrative center of Zeysky District, even though it is not a part of it. As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as Zeya Urban Okrug—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, this administrative unit also has urban okrug status.

Economy
The Zeya Dam is the main economic focus for the town, with forestry, gold mining and agriculture also conducted in the area.

Climate
Zeya experiences a monsoon influenced humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dwb) with frigid, dry winters and short, warm summers.

When you're selling a house, oftentimes you'll have a real estate agent hold "showings" for people who want to see the inside. In order to maximize the value and appearance of your home, it only makes sense that you clean up the house, tie up any loose ends and ensure that the house looks better than it does on a daily basis.
It's not only a good strategy; it's just basic common sense.
So why don't more people do the same thing when they list their websites for sale?
Granted, selling a house and a website are two different things. But if you're looking to sell your website at a marketplace like WebsiteBroker.com, then you have to realize that expecting a site to sell itself is usually not a winning strategy. If you want to command a good and fair price for your site, you've got to highlight its best features and think about its appearance from the buyer's end. Here are five tips for accomplishing exactly that.
Tip #1: Cut expenses. While you can't turn your website into a mega-revenue machine overnight, you can do a lot to cut your monthly expenses for the site, thereby decreasing the amount of risk a buyer takes on when purchasing your site. If you can identify several expenses that you don't really need to maintain the value of the site, then go ahead and get rid of them. A site that earns $10,000 a month but costs $9,000 to operate is going to be worth a lot less than a site that earns the same amount but costs only $1,000 a month to operate.
Tip #2: Don't hide your information. When selling a website at a place like WebsiteBroker.com, you're going to be able to fill out your information. While some of this information might seem unnecessary to you, it will make you look more professional if you fill out as much information as possible. This makes it look as though you have nothing to hide – and if you're confident enough to fill in a lot of information, the buyers think, maybe you really do have a good asset to sell.
Tip #3: Avoid looking "too good to be true." Sure, it's tempting to pump up your website as much as you can, but if you start fudging the numbers and look too good to be true, the experienced domain buyers are going to see right through your shtick and realize that if something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Honesty is always the best policy, and that applies to sites like WebsiteBroker.com just as it does in your offline life.
Tip #4: Make sure your site actually looks good. This is where the real estate analogy from earlier on really comes into play: since you can provide a preview of what your site looks like, make sure the site actually looks clean and professional.
Tip #5: Don't become something you're not. Market your website to someone who would be interested in selling your site, and don't try to market to anyone else – just as you wouldn't advertise your mitten-selling business to people who live in Florida.

Conservation groups sue to broaden polar bear decision
Conservation groups that sued to list polar bears as threatened are back in court, the Associated Press reports, taking aim at what they say is the animals' top threat -- greenhouse gas emissions that have led to the rapid melting of polar bear habitat: sea ice.
The Center for Biological Diversity, Greenpeace and the Natural Resources Defense Council announced today they have challenged administrative actions by Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne to keep greenhouse gas regulation off the table for a polar bear recovery plan. ...
In response to a court-ordered deadline last week, Kempthorne announced polar bears would be listed as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act.
But echoing President Bush, he said he would not allow the Endangered Species Act to be "misused" to regulate global climate change.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had not made a "causal connection" between development actions and loss of a polar bear, he said last week. ...
In court filings late Friday that amend their original lawsuit, the conservation groups asked U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken of Oakland to reject Kempthorne's administrative actions and apply endangered species law to polar bears.

Arctic cruises are becoming the ultimate in cool tourism
Specialist liners are coming to market to offer luxury experiences travelling through inhospitable climates
Artists' impression of Crystal Cruises' new Crystal Endeavour.
In a warming world, the upper echelons of the cruise industry are focusing on lower temperatures. No, they're not the travel industry's green pioneers (though new ships pollute far less than their predecessors). Instead, they're building ships for Antarctica, the Arctic, and anywhere that glacial ice, rather than tropical heat, is the main attraction.
Unlike the first generation of icebreakers — mostly bare-bones expedition ships and ageing Russian research vessels with renovated interiors — and the handful of pioneering expedition ships that started to break the mould in recent years, this new breed of polar ships is smaller, nimbler, and far more comfortable.
"People's expectations have changed," says Bob Simpson, vice president of expedition for luxury tour operator Abercrombie & Kent, which charters two ships from French line Ponant for sailings in the Antarctic and Arctic seas, including the Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. "You couldn't put today's luxury traveller in a 105 square foot cabin with a twin bed and porthole."
On the contrary, today's ships deliver a milieu of treats on ice. They have all the niceties of a first-class hotel — including king-size beds — plus helicopters and submarines that let passengers take in otherwise-inaccessible landscapes from above and below the sea. The challenge: Some itineraries feel like a race against climate change, be it the rapidly-melting Sermeq Kujalleq in Greenland or the receding glacier visible from Palmer Station in Antarctica.

This year, Australian line Scenic made waves with the debut of the all-suite polar-class Scenic Eclipse. Beginning next month, it will bring 200 passengers to the "White Continent" with accoutrements that include a bar, an indoor pool, and a whole room dedicated to meditation — plus two helicopters and a six-seat submarine.
Next year, it'll be joined by 10 additional, brand new expedition ships, eight of which are polar-class vessels. Crystal Cruises' 200-passenger Crystal Endeavor continues the helicopters-and-submarine trend while adding the only casino on an expedition ship. Then there's Quark Expeditions' 199-passenger Ultramarine, which will use its two helicopters to offer guests not only flight-seeing but also heli-skiing and heli-hiking. Additional entries will come from Ponant and Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic.
If all that weren't enough, an additional 13 expedition ships will follow in 2021, according to Cruise Industry News. These include the Seabourn Venture, the first purpose-built polar-class ship from Carnival Corporation's ultra-luxury, all-suite brand. It's slated to have mountain bikes, kayaks, and 24 motor boats for up-close exploration, as well as a pair of six-passenger submarines, free-flowing Champagne, and order-any-time caviar. A sister ship is scheduled to follow in 2022.
For many cruise companies, the fact that these ships are relatively small — and therefore, easy to commission out of alternative shipyard facilities — makes them palatable investments. Plus, with 10-day sailings to Antarctica starting at $12,000 per person, they drive far more revenue than a 10-day sailing to, say, the Caribbean, where prices for comparable trips can fall under $2,000. Even if there's lingering doubt about how long these frozen landscapes will remain viable (or interesting) to explore, the investment should pay for itself.
"Experience, that's become the currency," says Rick Meadows, Seabourn's president. "People want stories to tell their friends and family — to say 'We went to Greenland and saw all these things' to a room full of people who have not had that experience."
To afford a polar cruise, you need relatively deep pockets — but in many cases, you also need a good amount of time off, as itineraries typically run two weeks or longer. On most lines, this has limited cold-weather cruising to baby boomers, but the market is broadening.
Shorter trips, starting at seven nights, are drawing millennials and younger families. The fact that these destinations can't be visited by land also means that cruise companies are drawing the new-to-cruise tourists they so badly desire. A sense of urgency creates another allure: See the glaciers and show the kids, while you can.
For these travellers, the best options are Lindblad Expeditions (whose week-long trips focus on polar bears in Svalbard), Abercrombie & Kent (with its exemplary Youth Explorer programming), and Seabourn (for Greenland explorations at an unparalleled standard of luxury). Want the greenest possible experience? Norway-based line Hurtigruten stands out for its new, 500-passenger Roald Amundsen, which has a hybrid propulsion system that's partially electric. A sister ship arrives in 2020.
Vicky Garcia, chief operating officer and co-owner of travel agent network Cruise Planners, says that regardless of demographic, the people who book these cruises have high expectations.
"You may go out and fish for salmon with the best local fisherman, but you want a nice ship to come back to with all the luxury you are used to at home, people who know your name, custom-delivery at every level," Garcia says. "If they want a martini, they want it to be a really good martini in a really nice martini glass."
While Antarctica has been a prized destination for decades, itineraries are now stretching to even less-trammelled corners such as Norway's Svalbard Islands. They cruise to Greenland, the Canadian Arctic, across the Northwest Passage, through the Russian Far East, and to the Aleutian Islands. Even the uninhabited sub-Antarctic islands located amid Antarctica, Australia, and New Zealand are popping up on the elite cruise map. Glaciers aren't the only calling card. Wild scenery and changing ice conditions are trumped by an incredible array of wildlife: polar bears, beluga whales, and walruses in the Arctic; the giant Kamchatka brown bears of Russia; orca whales, elephant seals, and toddler-sized penguins in Antarctica.
History and a look at remote cultures come into play, too. Two standouts are Unalaska's Dutch Harbor, the major fishing port featured on Discovery TV's Deadliest Catch (it's a stop on Aleutians itineraries) and Tiny Pond Inlet on Nunavut's Baffin Island, with its Inuit culture and polar bears (it's featured in Canadian Arctic and Northwest Passage sailings). The latter port, also called Mittimatalik, received its first visit from a mainstream ship in 2016; in 2020, it expects a record-breaking 17 arrivals.
Even days on sea can be full of intrigue. Whereas Caribbean- and Mediterranean-bound cruise ships can be run mostly on autopilot, that's not the case in the lands of ice and snow. Last year, a few ships, including A&K's chartered Le Boreal, got blocked in the Northwest Passage when warming conditions caused huge sections of sea ice to break off the Arctic ice pack. The ships had to backtrack by putting guests on a charter flight to a different port.
"That's expedition cruising, and to me that's the beauty of it," A&K's Simpson says. "It's not always the experience you expect."

A Tuesday night (Feb. 24) New York town hall meeting held by the mayor of Spring Valley, a resident accused the mayor himself, Demeza Delhomme, of sleeping with his wife, the New York Daily News reports. Standing up in front of the crowd, 48-year-old maintenance worker Reginald Alfred said Delhomme abused his power.
"Mr. Delhomme is trying to use his power to get into my house," Alfred said. "He destroyed my house. He destroyed my family. I have two daughters."

Alfred also alleged that Delhomme has used his position to have him arrested, and to have an order of protection filed against him by his wife. He expressed that he was fearful for the safety of his two daughters, and noted that this incident will not sit well among voters. After Alfred's speech, Delhomme claimed that he never met Alfred in his life. Trustee Vilair Fonvil did not let the mayor off easy, however.
"You're screwing his wife and you said you don't know him?" Fonvil said.
An unnamed attendee of the town hall also expressed discontent with the allegations against Delhomme. "You are an elected official, you're the mayor, you're supposed to be a counselor, to take care of families, not destroy families," he said. "That's what I have to say. Shame on you." The situation was later defused by another trustee, who advised Alfred that the meeting was not the "proper channel" for his grievances.

Google has publicly disclosed a zero-day flaw in Apple's macOS after the Cupertino mobe-maker failed to fix the security shortcoming within the ad giant's 90-day deadline.
The vulnerability itself is relatively minor in terms of danger: it allows malware already running on your Mac, or a rogue logged-in user, to potentially escalate their privileges, and fully take over the computer, by secretly altering the contents of files on user-mounted disks without you noticing. Thus, to exploit the weakness, your computer already has to be compromised, which is pretty much game over for most folks.
However, this is Google dropping a proof-of-concept exploit on a tech rival, and it's therefore caught everyone's attention.
Two of the web goliath's Project Zero researchers, Meltdown-finder Jann Horn and bug-hunter-extraordinaire Ian Beer, revealed late last week how macOS's copy-on-write mechanism can be exploited by miscreants to modify files without triggering any sort of alert or warning from the operating system.
This mechanism can, it appears, be exploited as such: wait for a particular privileged process to open a file on a user-mounted disk by mapping the object to its virtual memory; then alter the underlying file system of the mounted disk to change the mapped file; and then force the memory pages holding the mapped file for the privileged process to be evicted by writing to a separate huge memory-mapped file.
When victim process reads from its mapped file again, it will pull in the altered data from the file system without any notification or warning the file underneath has changed. It thus may be possible to exploit this to crash the app, or confuse it to achieve privilege escalation.
It's a long shot, though one that could be taken by a malicious application, code fetched from a dodgy NPM package or GitHub repo, and so on.
"After the destination process has started reading from the transferred memory area, memory pressure can cause the pages holding the transferred memory to be evicted from the page cache," Horn explained.
"Later, when the evicted pages are needed again, they can be reloaded from the backing filesystem. This means that if an attacker can mutate an on-disk file without informing the virtual management subsystem, this is a security bug.
More concerning than the vulnerability itself is Apple's response. Horn reported the bug to Sir Jony's shiny thing factory back in November 2018 with a standard 90-day window for patch.
Despite putting out multiple security updates for the macOS between then and now, the above vulnerability was not patched. While the Project Zero team says that Apple is aware of the issue and has been planning to patch it, the deadline has passed, meaning the bug and its proof-of-concept exploit are now publicly disclosed as a zero day. It's not the first time Google has done this, though it's usually Microsoft that misses the deadline.
On the other hand, the bug is so esoteric, it's probably way down Apple's to-do list.


Copyright 2013, FX Networks. All rights reserved.
American Horror Story has finished its third season with one of the most entertaining episodes in the past two years. But, honestly, the naming of Cordelia Foxx as Supreme was a twist we saw coming. There wasn't much character development for her, or any of the people who survived to the final episode, to bring a sense of closure. There were so many dropped plot-points and extraneous characters, and something's got to give. These past two seasons of American Horror Story have been sloppy and don't shine a candle to Season 1.
Here are some rules that American Horror Story would be wise to follow for its upcoming years on FX.
1. Keep It Simple. These past two seasons had so much going, a satisfying conclusion was nearly impossible. Coven focused on everyone but the coven – a sadistic slave owner, vengeance-obsessed voodoo priestess, crazy Christians, an axe murderer, witch-hunters, and zombies all stole focus from the witches and their storyline. It's hard enough to put that in a cohesive sentence let alone a cohesive season. Asylum had a lot going on, too. There was a horror-movie style serial killer, Nazi doctor, mutant horde, demon possession, and aliens. It's just sloppy storytelling to have a world with all those things existing in the same place. This isn't The Avengers. Why not have a guest appearance by Falcor the flying dog?
2. Don't Forget Character Development. Despite great lines and the highest caliber of actors to date, there were so many extraneous characters played by star names the series ignored core characters. The first episode and final episode featured the same characters, but we didn't learn more about them over the course of the season. Still, Jessica Lange is such an amazing actor that she did so much with a pretty one-dimensional character: a snarky woman obsessed with immortality.
3. Less Stunt Casting. Part of the appeal of American Horror Story is the cast returns in new and interesting ways. With big names, there's pressure to keep extraneous characters on the show longer. Then they have to conveniently leave before the season finale. Why did we know more about Delphine LaLaurie than the titular coven of witches? Her character didn't further the plot at all. Patti LuPone's character was resurrected for no logical reason. The Axeman?!?
4. Keep the Characters Together. The first two seasons kept all the characters in the same place, which allowed for more story and character development. So much action took place outside of Miss Robichaux's Academy that the coven lost focus. There was no reason why the school couldn't have been Delphine's old estate with her buried in the backyard. Why couldn't Angela Bassett and Patti LuPone play members of the Witches Council? These detours robbed us from getting to know some amazing characters like Misty Day, Myrtle Snow, and Zoe Benson.
5. Don't Drop the Ball on Important Plot Points. The writers come up with really great ideas then throw them away in favor of plotholes. Zoe had an interesting power with her killer vag, she defeated super-witch Marie Laveau's magic, and reanimated a ghost. Why wasn't she the Supreme or the Antichrist or something more interesting than Kyle's girlfriend? How could Queenie ressurect Misty Day but not Zoe? Queenie left to go study voodoo with Marie but didn't come back with any new power. These are all missed opportunities.
6. Know How It's Going to End. It's nice when a show includes clues for the discerning watcher. However, some shows Lost have made it a valid choice for writers to not know how things will end. The first episode introduces Zoe in Coven and aliens in Asylum but nothing happens at all. It also seems the writers didn't know who the Supreme was going to be. All signs pointed to Zoe or Madison. Conveniently, having Madison's death make Cordelia the Supreme is an interesting mystery to leave unsolved. But it seems more a result of sloppy storytelling than intention. If Cordelia was set to be the Supreme all along at least make her a more vital part of the series. There was never a scene of an actual class at this school.
7. Give Characters the Exit/Death they Deserve. In Asylum, Sister Mary Eunice becomes possessed by the Devil and becomes the most interesting character on the show. She had a Sam/Diane attraction to Nazi Dr. Arthur Arden. They both were major antagonists but died in anticlimactic ways with no resolution to their storylines.
8. No More Racism. The Nazi storyline didn't come to a crescendo last season, so what was the purpose of going to Anti-Semitism? This season's irresponsible treatment of its black characters was also an epic fail. It's completely implausible for an immortal super witch, who charges 10,000 a spell, to spend her free time doing hair at a ratchet beauty salon. It didn't come off as ironically humorous as much as flat out racist. The season-long slavery arc was also a bit much.
9. Don't Shock to Shock. The multiple molesting moms this season were gratuitous because they didn't further the story or their sons' characters. If you're going to go there at least make a point.
10. More Lily Rabe! She's the best part of the past two seasons. 'Nuff said.

he Wikileaks founder Julian Assange could yet avoid extradition for questioning over sexual assault allegations after Ecuadorean government officials invited the Swedish authorities to London, offering to host an interview there instead.
Senior Ecuadorean government sources said today they have sent a formal request to Sweden and would be happy to facilitate questioning between Mr Assange and the Swedish prosecutor in their west London embassy, where the Wikileaks founder has been staying for the more than a month after claiming asylum.
The embassy, a grand building which sits behind Harrod's in London's chic Knightsbridge, would be the perfect setting, senior officials said today.
His supporters have expressed fears that the American authorities are seeking to prosecute Mr Assange for his involvement with Wikileaks and would use his extradition as an opportunity to pounce. But Ecuadorean officials said they were also seeking assurances that, in the event of his extradition to Sweden, Mr Assange would not later be sent on to the USA.
A senior legal advisor to the Ecuadorean government said they would protect Mr Assange from that prospect for as long as it takes and would be writing to the US authorities in the coming days to ask whether they have any intention of seeking Mr Assange's forward extradition.
He added that they have already asked the British government, which must agree to the extradition, for assurances it would not do so and for information on what contact about a potential extradition – if any – they have had with their American counterparts.
"If Ecuador could be assured that the evil it wishes to prevent: the extradition to the USA of Julian Assange, could be [avoided], then that would be a just solution," the advisor said today.
He said the Ecuadorean authorities in London have held around 20 meetings with their UK counterparts and around 10 with the Swedish government in the last month. No contact has been made with the US authorities.
The advisor said today that Quito was seeking the answers from the British, Swedish and American governments before it made any decision on Mr Assange's asylum claim. "We will ask of the Americans: is there an investigation which has identified [Julian Assange] as a target and will there be an extradition request in the future," he said.
Of the British government, he said they asked whether or not it would agree to Mr Assange's forward extradition and what discussions British officials have had with their US counterparts on the issue, in a bid to ascertain America's intentions.
The offer to Sweden was made yesterday and the Foreign Office was informed immediately, said a senior Ecuadorean government political advisor. He said they have not yet received any formal responses yet but Quito will base its decision, which will not come before the Olympic Games end in any case, on those they eventually do receive.
He added that Ecuador has not yet discussed the issue of safe passage with their British counterparts and did not intend to try to get Mr Assange out of the UK. Officials said they hoped to find a solution "which suits all parties, including Mr Assange" before they considered that possibility.
Mr Assange walked into the Ecuadorean Embassy in London on 19 June and claimed asylum. In doing so, he breached bail conditions requiring him to stay at a specified address each evening. He faces being arrested if he leaves the embassy.


Olivia Holt takes in the view from the 86th Observatory at the Empire State Building in New York City on Thursday (May 19).
The 18-year-old actress/singer is out promoting her new single, "Phoenix" and also dished up secrets about her upcoming movie, Same Kind of Different As Me.
"Unreal! I mean, they are incredibly seasoned actors with the ability to make people cry and laugh and feel something all in the same moment, but they're even better human beings," Olivia shared about working with Ren�e Zellweger and Greg Kinnear.


If you're earning a gross salary of £11,100 per month, you'll take home £6,733 after tax and national insurance. A monthly gross salary of £11,100 will result in a £133,200 yearly salary. We'll use this sum to calculate your tax, NI, and take home pay below.
As we already mentioned above, if your total yearly earnings are £133,200, you'll get paid £6,733 every month after tax, in your bank account.
We've also calculated your hourly rate, which is £64.05, assuming that you'll work a full time 40 hours a week.
You will have to pay a total tax of £3,815 per month (£45,780/year)out of your gross £11,100 monthly income.
You'll also have to pay pay £552 National Insurance every month (or £6,628 per year) in the 2019 - 2020 tax year.
One important fact about your £133,200 yearly salary (equivalent to £11,100 / month) is that you have a personal allowance of £0 in the tax year 2019 - 2020 (or £0 per month). Which means that you'll only pay tax on £133,200 of your earnings for the total year.
According to our calculations, you'll have a total taxable amount (the part of your salary that is getting taxed) of £133,200 (we extracted your personal allowance from your yearly wage).
Apart from tax, you'll also have to pay national insurance, which is truly just another form of tax. You won't pay NI on the full amount of your salary - you can earn up to £8,632 a year (or £166 a week) £133,200 (we extracted your personal allowance from your yearly wage).

In its annual general meeting (AGM), the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) passed a resolution condemning the state government for targeting it for alleged political reasons.
HPCA president Anurag Thakur slammed state government attitude towards association and accused the Congress led government for acting in a vindictive manner. While talking to press, Anurag Thakur claimed that HPCA has done nothing wrong and when asked about the notice issued to the HPCA by the Registrar Cooperative Societies, he said that the HP High Court had directed the Registrar to decide if he had the jurisdiction to issue notice to a non-profitable company registered under Section 25 of the Companies Act. The HPCA was now a non-profitable company and the Registrar Cooperative Societies had no jurisdiction over it, he added. About the case registered by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau against the HPCA, he said the sports body had not done anything illegal. Every move made by the HPCA was as per rules and regulations of the state, Thakur claimed.
In the AGM, HPCA has decided to honour state players Sushma Verma, Paras Dogra, Prashant Chopra and Ankush Bains for their contribution at a state-level function. It was also decided that the HPCA will support former players from the state who have performed at the national and international levels.
To promote cricket and ensure participation of more cricketing talent in the state, the HPCA has decided to open cricket academies in all districts.

2008 R&B

DAR Music: 7 Popular R&B Albums Released In 2008
10 years ago, R&B was at an interesting place honestly. There were so many artists who were either on the rise or on the decline, and musically they were looking to either find a spark or continue the fire they created before. 2008 is one of those years that you look back on and you're shocked at how well it went in terms of music releases. 10 years later, some of the music still holds up well and some of it doesn't. Today, we look back at some of the albums that turned 10 this year and see how well they hold up. Let's take a look.
*John Legend- Evolver
-So, this album was slept on in a way by a number of fans, but it was a solid release for sure. I think John Legend had become so popular with his first two albums and that style that people really didn't want to see him change his style at all or alter it. However, that is exactly what he sets out to do on Evolver and he succeeds for the most part. Showing that he is much more than simple ballads, John brings a more upbeat approach this go round, which allows him to jump in several different realms in terms of music. He has the party anthem with Andre 3000 on "Green Light", the smooth breakup anthem featuring Kanye on "It's Over", the solid duet with Brandy on "Quickly", the epic ballad "Good Morning", and the slightly reggae tinged "No Other Love" with Estelle. John delivers an album that didn't ring off the charts, but was still nearly certified platinum and had some great moments.
*Beyonce- I Am.... Sasha Fierce
-So, if we are talking women this year, Beyonce ruled the world pretty easily. After the release of her first two albums, it was clear Beyonce was able to walk within different realms of music and styles and she needed to make a piece of music that reflected. Enter I Am... Sasha Fierce. The two disc set is a double album that showcases two sides of Beyonce, one with ballads and softer jams, the other with more upbeat and straightforward songs and it became an instant hit. While ballads such as "Broken Hearted Girl", "If I Were A Boy", and "Halo" are highlights from the I Am side, she shines as Sasha Fierce on tracks such as the slightly corny "Diva", "Radio", "Ego", and the mega hit "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)", which became an anthem for women all around the world. At 8 million copies sold worldwide and a ton of awards and nominations, Beyonce wins big on the year with this album.
*Erykah Badu- New Amerykah Part 1 (4th World War)
-We all love Badu. She is one of the most important figures in the genre in terms of innovating and taking the Neo-Soul genre to higher heights and she has managed to build up quite the catalog. Following a near 5 year hiatus from releasing albums, Badu returns to form with the first of a so far two part album series and this one is close to being a classic. The amazing music that Badu makes here nearly rivals her first two classic albums, as she brings in assistance from legendary producers 9th Wonder and Madlib, among others to create her project. There are so many highlights here, but my favorites are "The Healer", "Soldier", That Hump", "Telephone", and the absolutely electric "Master Teacher". This album is one of my favorites this year and a top 5 album in 2008 across all genres IMO.
*Jazmine Sullivan- Fearless
-So, Jazmine Sullivan is really one of the more underrated vocalists of this era and her debut album remains her best work. She arrived mostly out of nowhere, with her first single "Need U Bad" featuring Missy arriving on the charts and never looking back. However, her entire album would provide catchy tunes and hit records, and while she didn't sell a crazy amount of records, it was impossible to listen to radio and not hear a track from Jazmine. This album earned her Grammy nominations and went gold, marking a clear success off the strength of tracks like the beautifully arranged "Lions, Tigers, and Bears", "Bust Your Windows", "One Night Stand", and "In Love With Another Man". Simply put, Fearless put Jazmine on the map and gave her a moment to showcase what still stands as her best work yet.
*The Foreign Exchange- Leave It All Behind
-Phonte is one of the greatest rhymers ever and he is in my personal top 10 list. As a lyricist and rapper, Phonte manages to showcase his skill at a high level and it is perhaps his greatest attribute. However, Phonte as an artist in general can do so much more than just rap. With the concept of Foreign Exchange being more Neo-Soul and R&B, it allowed Phonte to expand even more and show his talent. Alongside producer Nicolay, Foreign Exchange has become a formidable brand over the years and this sophomore album from them is a classic IMO. The highlights here are plenty, but my favorites are "Daykeeper", "Take Off The Blues", "All Or Nothing/Coming Home To You", and "Something To Behold". Leave It All Behind is one of my favorite albums of the year.
*Usher- Here I Stand
-So, Usher in his prime gave us My Way, 8701, and Confessions. Following that run is always tough, especially coming off of Confessions, which is one of the greatest albums ever in the genre. However, Usher gets back at it and attempts to create some magic with Here I Stand, his first album in 4 years at the time. The problem here is that Usher was in a much different space than when he created his previous albums, and it shows in some of the worst ways. Along with his weird marriage to Tameka Foster, Usher also lost his father and fired his mother as his manager, and seemed pretty much on an uncertain path. His album reflects that mostly, but has a few highlights from "Trading Places" to "Best Thing" to the excellent slow jam "Love You Gently" to one of my favorites in "Appetite". Here I Stand didn't succeed in the way Usher hoped and his new direction was likely to blame for that.
*Raphael Saadiq- The Way I See
-I have always said Raphael is extremely underrated and I still believe that. He is a legend in so many ways, and he proves that with his soulful solo album, The Way I See It. When everyone else went one way, Raphael went the other and it pays off big time here for him. This album features more of an old school traditional soul style and looks back to that Philly Soul and Motown sound for production and it works beautifully. From the sly opener "Sure Hope You Mean It" to the Joss Stone featured ballad (remember that weird relationship) on "Just One Kiss" to the booming "Let's Take A Walk" and the smooth "Never Give You Up", Raphael shines brighter than almost any artist that year.

His career journey meandered through a stint in the Military in California and Maryland, many years in the Orient as a Chinese Mandarin linguist, many more years in the Washington, D.C. area as Operating Manager for a major corporation, and finally marriage at age 40 and permanent relocation to Tennessee as Vice President of a Financial Management company.
During all the while he pursued a music career with bands, in piano bars, and as a church organist for over 60 years. He is now retired and just plays bridge (a Bronze Life Master in the ACBL), paints, and enjoys life.
Both Martin's original paintings, as well as smaller sized prints, will be available for sale.

Gastronomy derives from the ancient words meaning the Rule of the Stomach and it is attributed to Archestratus. This ancient Greek poet and philosopher wrote a poem where he advises a gastronomic reader on where to find the most exceptional food in the Mediterranean world.
For the Mediterranean people, the extraordinary diversity of the landscape has offered an array of opportunities to develop all gastronomical experiences from the high mountains of Epirus to the olive plains of Crete. The sun and the salt have given their taste to the soil which produces unprecedented quality products, like the olive oil, the wine and the raw material which grow naturally in this fertile land.
But even more to that, the gastronomical habits of the Mediterranean people have been associated with a cultural and social experience like in no other country over the world. The place, the people, the history, have created recipes that root centuries back and unfold before you, delivering a unique cultural culinary experience.
Rest assured that the experiences we offer you will scrumptiously deliver the cultural, social and economic history of this magnificent place, Greece.

Top court sets October oral hearings
By Linda Bloom
Aug. 10, 2018 | UMNS
Editor's note: This story was updated on Aug. 13.
The United Methodist Judicial Council has announced that it will hold three oral hearings the first day of its Oct. 23-26 meeting in Zurich.
One of the hearings is on a request by the Council of Bishops for the court to rule on whether the proposed legislation for the One Church, Connectional Conference and Traditional plans for the 2019 special General Conference is constitutional.
The Council of Bishops also requested another hearing, which was granted, on a docket item about administrative procedures related to an involuntary change of status for a clergyperson.
The other oral hearing involves a request for a declaratory decision from the Commission on the General Conference related to reserve delegates at General Conference, which is the denomination's top legislative body.
The announcement about the hearings was made Aug. 9 by the Rev. Lui Tran, secretary of Judicial Council.
The hearings will be at the hotel where the denomination's top court is meeting — the Placid Hotel at Buckhauserstrasse 36, 8048, in Zurich. The hearings are open to the public and will be livestreamed, but viewing details are not yet available.
The 231-page request from the bishops on legislation for the special General Conference includes the full report from the Commission on a Way Forward as well as 17 petitions related to implementation of the One Church Plan, 14 petitions for implementation of the Connectional Conference Plan and 17 petitions for implementation of the Traditional Plan. The special session of the denomination's top lawmaking body will be Feb. 23-26 in St. Louis.
The bishops appointed the Way Forward Commission to help the denomination find a way through its intensifying debate over how the church ministers with LGBTQ individuals.
The hearing on the matter about General Conference reserve delegates was granted "in consideration of the nature of the matter and the interests of fairness and transparency," the Judicial Council secretary stated.
The Commission on the General Conference asked for a declaratory decision about the authority of General Conference "to remove, by vote, a delegate of the body for a violation of the rules of ethics as printed and passed in the Plan of Organization and Rules of Order for the General Conference" either when a reserve delegate is available or is not available to be seated.
The second hearing on a request from the Council of Bishops is about procedure related to clergy sessions at annual conference and the administrative right to appeal in matters of involuntary changes in clergy status.
In the rationale, the bishops ask the court to rule that the annual conference clergy session must take action on a recommendation for an involuntary change of status before an appeal is allowed, or at least to not stay any action on a clergy session recommendation "pending the outcome of the appeal."
Here is the schedule for the Oct. 23 hearings. The listed times are in Central European Summer Time, which is six hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time in the U.S. The hearing for Docket 12, the Commission on the Way Forward report, will be divided into three parts, one part for each plan:
8:30 to 9:30 a.m. — Docket No. 1018-12 (Part I: One Church Plan); Petitioner: Council of Bishops, Respondent: the Rev. Tom Berlin
9:45 to 10:45 a.m. — Docket No. 1018-12 (Part II: Connectional Conference Plan); Petitioner: Council of Bishops Respondent: Patricia Miller.
11 a.m. to noon — Docket No. 1018-12 (Part III: Traditional Plan); Petitioner: Council of Bishops, Respondent: the Rev. Tom Lambrecht
Noon to 1:30 p.m. — Lunch Break
1:30 to 2:40 p.m. — Docket No. 1018-13; Petitioner: Commission on the General Conference, Respondent: Council of Bishops
3:10 to 5 p.m. — Docket No. 1018-1; Petitioner: Council of Bishops, Respondents: the Rev. Robert Zilhaver, the Rev. Kimberly Reisman, Steven Lambert
Oral hearing requests for Docket 3, 4 and 9 were denied.
Dockets 3 and 4 were appeals from different parties of a ruling by the North Central Jurisdictional Committee on Appeals about a case involving the Rev. David Meredith, pastor of Clifton United Methodist Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, who faced complaints of violating church law after marrying Jim Schlachter, his partner of almost 30 years, in 2016.
Docket 9 is a review of a decision of law by the North Texas Conference's Bishop Michael McKee that a question on a tabled resolution related to the issue of human sexuality was out of order.
The entire docket for the October meeting can be found on the Judicial Council's website.
